Mila

Mila is an exceptionally sweet and gentle soul. She was rescued from Turkey and brought to the Netherlands with the hope of a brighter future—and now, we’re looking for the right home where she can truly thrive. Mila is great with cats and friendly with other dogs, especially those who understand and respect her space. She has a sensitive heart and values calm and respectful companionship, whether animal or human.

She is fully housetrained, can stay home alone without any issues, and travels well in the car, even if it's not her favorite activity. At home, she reveals her goofy side—she’s known for her joyful zoomies when she feels safe and happy. And on quieter days, she’ll rest her head on your lap, gently asking for affection.

Mila is a shy and sensitive dog. She takes her time warming up to new people and can be uneasy around large men, but once she builds trust, she blossoms into a loyal and affectionate companion. Her biggest challenge is city life. The constant triggers—construction noise, loud traffic, sudden bangs—leave her overwhelmed and anxious. She needs time to recover from overstimulation, but in an urban setting, the stressors never seem to stop. Yet when she’s taken out of the city, into nature or a quieter environment, she becomes a completely different dog: relaxed, playful, and full of light.

She is smart and well-trained, responding to commands like "zit", "lig", "kom/hier", and even fun ones like "spin" where she twirls in place. She listens beautifully, but due to her sensitivity to sound, she’s only let off-leash in safely enclosed areas.

We are searching for a home for Mila that matches her emotional needs: peaceful, non-urban, without small children, and ideally with someone who understands the unique beauty of sensitive rescue dogs. She could do well with a calm and balanced canine companion, but that’s not a must.

Her current family in Utrecht has given her two years of love and care, but they’ve come to the heartbreaking realization that city life is simply not right for her. This decision comes from a place of deep love—they want what’s best for Mila. And what’s best for her is a serene environment where she can finally breathe, relax, and just be her happy, goofy self.
